Two snakebite antivenoms have potential to reduce Eswatini's dependency upon a single, increasingly unavailable product: results of preclinical efficacy testing

This study evaluates two antivenoms as alternatives to SAIMR Polyvalent in Eswatini, finding they are equally or more effective against the most common snake venom but less effective against others.

Identifying locations susceptible to micro-anatomical reentry using a spatial network representation of atrial fibre maps

This paper introduces a computational method to identify atrial regions susceptible to micro-reentry by modeling percolation-like phenomena on spatial networks of atrial fibre maps.

Prevalence, risk factors and health seeking behaviour of pulmonary tuberculosis in four tribal dominated districts of Odisha

The paper assesses TB prevalence, risk factors, and health-seeking behavior in tribal communities in Odisha, finding a 0.68% prevalence rate linked to cultural ignorance, alcohol use, and poor access to healthcare.

Sustained exposure to trypsin causes cells to transition into a state of reversible stemness that is amenable to transdifferentiation

This paper shows that sustained trypsin exposure induces cells to transition into a reversible stem-like state, enabling transdifferentiation and altering cellular behavior.

Single Cell Analysis Reveals Immune Cell-Adipocyte Crosstalk Regulating the Transcription of Thermogenic Adipocytes

The paper identifies immune cell-adipocyte communication regulating thermogenic adipocyte transcription through single-cell analysis in mice.

A Supernova at 50 PC: Effects on the Earth’s Atmosphere and Biota

This paper investigates the effects of nearby supernovae on Earth's atmosphere and biota, finding significant increases in cosmic ray flux and ionization under certain magnetic field conditions.
